My son was born prematurely at 28 weeks via emergency csection. We knew he may be early, so we prepared mentally as best we could.
Because I had low fluid during the pregnancy, I did not know about his heart.
The day after he was born, we learned he had a very severe congenital heart defect named Tetralogy of Fallot with Pulmonary Atresia.
He died nearly 2 days after he was born, in my arms.
I honestly think my milk came in so quickly with my son because I was able to hold him against my chest when he died. I believe this kangaroo care brought so much out of me and him as well. I only wish that our time together, would have been much longer.
